New Shiny!

[Caradoc]

Mr. J. Michael McRae of Scotia Metalwork has produced for me a nice new sgian dubh.



I'm very pleased with his work. Very pleased indeed.

It's a lovely piece. I like the "squared" look to the handle, bolster and pommel.
What type of wood is the handle?

Cheers

Smart sgian dhu - and that's a nice tartan too!

Gabon ebony. The sheath is made from plain leather on the back, and ray skin for the "front," which should provide a bit more friction with the hose than a smooth leather.

The kilt under it is the "weathered Lochaber" tartan.

That is a great blade. I've not been to his site to look around much, It is a great place to browse for a while. O'Neille
